		It is Devils Postpile (as the formations have been dubbed) and it is located right in our own back yard, and according to the National Park Service, reopened to visitors on for the season Wednesday, June 27.
		While it may look ominous, in actuality Devils Postpile is a dark cliff of columnar basalt near Mammoth Mountain, created by a lava flow sometime between less than 100,000 years ago (according to current potassium-argon dating) to 700,000 years ago (according to other dating methods).
		Devils Postpile was once part of Yosemite National Park, but discovery of gold near Mammoth Lakes, Calif. prompted a boundary change that left the Postpile on adjacent public land.

		Devils Postpile is a dark cliff of columnar basalt.
		The postpile was created by a lava flow, which was impounded by a moraine and reached a thickness of 500 feet.
		Because of its unusual thickness, much of the mass of pooled lava cooled slowly and evenly, which is why the columns are so long and so symmetrical, forming almost perfect hexagons.

		Just a few miles outside the town of Mammoth Lakes, Devils Postpile National Monument is home to one of nature's most curious geological spectacles.
		Formed when molten lava cracked as it cooled, the 60-foot-high, blue-gray basalt columns that form the postpile look more like an enormous, eerie pipe organ or a jumble of string cheese than anything you'd expect to see made from stone.
		The mostly six-sided columns formed underground and were exposed when glaciers scoured the valley during the last ice age, some 10,000 years ago.
